CRITICAL WARNINGS

  1. UV/EB Curable Monomer: BDDA is a low-viscosity, difunctional acrylate monomer widely used in UV and electron beam (EB) curable systems.

  2. High Flexibility and Low Shrinkage: Provides higher flexibility and lower shrinkage compared to HDDA and DPGDA. Ideal for applications requiring flexibility.

  3. Balanced Properties: Offers a good balance between hardness, flexibility, and chemical resistance.

  4. Low Viscosity: Low viscosity (10–20 cP) facilitates its use as a reactive diluent in formulations.

  5. Polymerization Risk: Readily polymerizes; always contains inhibitor (MEHQ). Keep away from heat and light.

  6. Skin Sensitizer: BDDA may cause allergic skin reactions (H317). Appropriate PPE required.

  7. Low Volatility: Low vapor pressure and high boiling point (>150°C) provide low volatility.

  8. Storage: Store in cool, dark, well-ventilated areas. Shelf life is 12 months.

  9. Alternatives: HDDA provides higher hardness, TPGDA provides higher flexibility. Selection depends on application.

  10. Regulatory Status: Not classified as dangerous goods for transport. Avoid release to the environment.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This Technical Data Sheet (TDS) is for informational purposes only and is based on available technical data. The user is solely responsible for determining the product's suitability for their specific application and for complying with all applicable local, national, and international regulations. BDDA readily polymerizes and is a known skin sensitizer! For complete safety, storage, handling, transportation, disposal, and regulatory compliance information, always refer to the official Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) provided by the manufacturer/supplier. Users are responsible for testing the product in their own processes and applications. All local, national, and international regulations must be followed when working with BDDA.
